Book Synopsis Women and Power in Native North America by : Laura F. Klein

Download or read book Women and Power in Native North America written by Laura F. Klein and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Power is understood to be manifested in a multiplicity of ways: through cosmology, economic control, and formal hierarchy. In the Native societies examined, power is continually created and redefined through individual life stages and through the history of the society. The important issue is autonomy - whether, or to what extent, individuals are autonomous in living their lives. Each author demonstrates that women in a particular cultural area of aboriginal North America had (and have) more power than many previous observers have claimed.
